At the ceremony, commentator Park Jae-min, an athlete-turned-actor, continued a short talk show with KADA athletes from each event legend under the theme of 'Clean Sports'. Kim Na-ra, the youngest member of the Korean women's gymnastics team (12 years old) and the longest-serving member of the anti-doping field, emphasized on the world's anti-doping motto 'PLAY TRUE' that `It is Play True to provide fair opportunities to all athletes, and to achieve results only through honest sweat and effort with their own real performance.' Kim Dong-hyun, a former silver medalist in bobsleigh at the PyeongChang Olympics, also said, `Honest sweat is really his own. I am doing my best every moment to compete fairly for my dreams and those who support me, and to be an unashamed person"He emphasized the value of the sport 'the political party".
Member Won Yoon-jong "Fairness is the first value of sports. After 13 years of playing, a person 'weak' does 'weak' I dabble in doping because I'm mentally and physically weak. As I have faithfully adhered to the basic principles throughout my career and actively participated in anti-doping campaigns, I will continue to take the lead in building clean sports" expressed his determination. Kim Min-jae, a former member of the Weightlifting National Team, also joined the committee. Kim, who ranked eighth in Korea's best record at the 2012 London Olympics but became a silver medalist after six doping cases were found, said "Honest sweat and hard work are not betrayed, so it is most important to exercise honestly in the spirit of sports." Looking at his daughter, Kim Tae-hee, who continues his career as a player 'student player', he expected that he would be a better player than me if he sweats honestly and follows me as well as he is now.' The Beijing Paralympic Wheelchair Athletics Gold Medalist Hong Seok-man said, `It is fair competition beyond human limits without doping that allows us to feel the joy and joy that sports bring,' and added, `Fans are also moved and enthusiastic when they see such figures.'

"One bad choice can lead to a situation where you have no choice but to quit an athlete. You have to play fair and square like a player. I want the players to keep trying hard while paying attention to the effort and sweating process."
Meanwhile, an unprecedented number of girl fans flocked to the Olympic Parktel, where the ceremony for the "World Anti-Doping Day" was held, to see Yeonkyung sister, which was crowded before and after the event. Kim Yeon-koung, who was selected as the unanimous MVP along with Heungkuk Life Insurance's victory in the women's professional volleyball championship match on the 8th, did not forget her role as a KADA player despite her busy schedule. In a ceremony gathered by junior student athletes and athletes, he stayed in his seat from start to finish, expressed his will to 'Clean Sports' and actively participated in the 'Doping Prevention' performance with fellow members.
